Nice app but flawed

It works pretty well. I usually use the two-panel mode with the paper layout view in the left panel and an expanded view of the selected section in the panel on the right. My complaint is that bold sub-heads in the paper selection are not bold in the right panel. If you are looking at a community events listing, it is difficult to sort out the break in events.

If this were fixed I'd give it a **** rating.

Save you subscription $

Got a subscription only to find the software app crashes every time I open it on my iPhone or my iPad. Don't bother with this one or the on- line subscription.

It's ok but it can be better

I have three devices that I use on a daily basis ; as far as the app itself, it needs improvement. It looks horrible on every device and there are no pictures beside the article. Needs a makeover bad.

As far as the newsleader, I have been reading it for years. For now stick with the actual site, the app isn't ready.
